SHERMAN SLAMS INJURY REPORT
Richard Sherman again took shots at the NFL, saying the injury reports teams are required to produce each week are simply to help gamblers. Sherman has been listed on the injury report each week this season, first with a thigh injury and then with a hamstring injury. He was not listed at all last year, even though Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll revealed after the season that Sherman played through a significant knee injury. Sherman said Wednesday he believes the injury report is just to help set point spreads on games. “I thought we weren’t a gambling league and we were against all those things. But our injury report is specifically to make sure the gamblers get their odds right.” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said the injury report is a decades-old policy to ensure accurate information is provided to other teams and the public.
